KDiP (Knee Deep In Phobos) [RELEASED]

[FANADICALCOWHEAD]

It's very difficult to ascess the quality of the maps without any ingame screen shots. A layout tells very little other than a very generic way of how the player progresses. To make it simple, the entire map, as I see it, can be all 128 tall sectors without any floor or ceiling height variations that all use the BROWN texture right now. It's impossible to say anything about the actual quality at this point.

Fixed.

I also agree

lolo you might want to remove or change your post considering I added gameplay screenshots 20 minutes prior to your reply.Not Only that but I also replied to Eriance saying that the screenshot issue was fixed.I'm starting to get frustrated with the replies I'm getting.None of them tell me how to improve my maps,or any suggestions on better gameplay.

i'd like to see that ReblDomakr's UAC extended one day and finished.

don't try to create drama. i just agreed to Eriance's post

I wasn't trying to create drama.If you took the time to check you'd see gameplay screenshots (not just sectors).I Hope the next comment on this thread is actual constructive "gameplay" criticism ,and not "your thread is missing this and that"Ironicly I never had this problem on the skulltag forums...

First, you need to stop saying "give feedback! stop derailing", etc. because all you get is comments like this where the poster say "stop doing that, you wont get what you want like that".

Anyway, about the screenshots, sorry to tell you that those ingame shots show nothing. Just a couple rooms (and I must say): not impressive at all. Try to find the best looking room in the map and post a shot of it, in that way you'll get more interest than random rooms with nothing to show.

EDIT: Ok, i just tried the demo. I liked map01 in general. It was nice. But map02 felt a bit too empty. Some of the textures were repeaded for far too long, and the ceilings need some decoration. Also, why nazis in map02? I did not play the map, I just went through watching all the architecture. I saw a missing textures problem in map02 in near the end of the map. I'll give details later.

Well the nazi will be a new enemy (machinegun zombie) I need new sprites for it.I'll try and add some decorations to map02 and make the level alot less bland.

um, it is perfectly legal to import E1 into Doom 2 since E1 is a shareware wad and freely avaliable.

Wrong. Shareware is by definition *copyrighted* software, that is distributed for free. In other words, it can legally be redistributed, but it cannot be legally modified -- at least, not without the explicit permission of the copyright owner. (The other aspect of shareware is that you're expected to pay a fee if you like it, often to remove a time limit, and/or to get the full feature set.)

If software is both freely available and can be modified, then it's public domain software, not shareware.

You can't legally copy/paste ID software maps on to doom2.But you are allowed to recreate them.I don't see why there is drama here (considering their are thousands of e1remakes with nearly perfect copies of ID software maps).

If software is both freely available and can be modified, then it's public domain software, not shareware.

I didn't copy/paste and edit id maps if thats what you just said.none of the linedefs in the match the original e1m1 and e1m2.Also this is the first time someone brings up copy right issues (considering this wad has been on doomworld,skulltag,Wads In Progress and odamex for over 2months now).

Hey...didn't the author of the first map get banned from Doomworld?

[NiGHTMARE]

[You can't legally copy/paste ID software maps on to doom2.But you are allowed to recreate them.I

Actually, level design could -- in theory -- fall under intellectual property, in which case you would *not* be allowed to recreate them. In fact, ID Software have shut down several fan projects that recreated elements of one of their games in another of their games; for instance, there was a Doom-themed Quake 3 TC that got canned, even though all the content was created from-scratch.

In practice, ID most likely couldn't care less about what we do in Doom 1 & 2. More recent ID games are a different matter entirely, though.

Yes I did get banned but only because I did something I shouldn't of done.It has nothing to do with this however.

Well Id software didn't stop Kdizd (the most well known doom1 remake) so chances are they won't try and shut down this wad.

[esselfortium]

Well...that's why KDiZD was made for Ultimate Doom instead of Doom II.
